WPA encryption
WPA is a standard-conformant solution for greater security in wireless networks. WPA is
meant to replace the existing WEP standard (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and offers more
reliable encryption and authentication methods.
With your Gigaset USB Adapter 54 you can use WPA encryption regardless of the
operating system used. WPA encryption is particularly recommended where the highest
security is required.
Range of wireless communication via a WLAN
Outdoors, the range is up to 300 m. Indoors, the maximum range is about 30 m.
The operating environment, the nature of the rooms and building may reduce the range
considerably. You can boost the range of your wireless network by placing a repeater,
e.g. a Gigaset WLAN Repeater, at the limit of its range.
